Morning blinding flash of the obvious: There is a reason why changing our mind is the hardest thing life will ever ask of us...the reason is because our ego always legislates for itself, a.k.a., me, and love legislates for the other. Which leaves the reasoning mind between the proverbial rock and a hard place...because it always legislates for me, too, but it knows better.
More and more I am knowing that impersonal love is gut-bucket acceptance of everything that comes into our consciousness. In the silence, I see me giving over...unresisting...joyous...giving with both hands and my heart singing.
And then...my ego Lucy comes along, whispering words of personal love, I am right, s/he is wrong, it's not fair, why me? How long, oh Lord?
That's when I am knowing that which I am knowing is from my eyebrows up.
It is purely through grace that I am content that at least I've got it from my eyebrows up. Now the continuing discipline is to keep an attitude of gratitude and never cease seeking to bring it down to and through my heart, returning it to my Soul in order to set forth again.
I'll likely not get there till three days after I'm dead, or even in fourteen more lifetimes, but it makes no never mind to me when it happens...that it will happen is the promise I cling to, and it will happen if, as and when I follow the commandment to love and love only.
There it is...that's exactly how my nemesis du jour is my angel...becoming willing to love my nemesis is God's personal plan and gift for me...and you.
That's close enough to perfect for me.
Thank you.
